Perinatal Counselling
Perinatal Counselling
Perinatal Counselling
Perinatal mental health focuses on the emotional well-being of women and families from preconception to three years postpartum. Research shows that up to 1 in 5 women may experience anxiety and depression during this period.
Viewing this time through the lens of Matrescence, the profound transformation women undergo during motherhood, highlights the increased need for mental health support. This period of significant change and adaptation requires compassionate and ongoing care, especially for those with pre-existing challenges. Addressing these needs holistically ensures both the mother's and family's overall well-being.
At Wells Psychology, we offer safe and supportive counselling for mothers navigating parenthood. Our services provide a confidential space to explore thoughts and feelings during this transformative phase.
Women's Wellness
Perinatal Counselling
Perinatal Counselling
Women encounter unique mental health challenges due to a combination of biological and societal factors, such as hormonal fluctuations, infertility, domestic violence, sexual abuse, parenting challenges, and discrimination. Additionally, the pervasive influence of media and extreme health trends can significantly impact self-esteem. These barriers are often intensified by the pressures of balancing multiple roles, including caregiver, professional, and partner.
Supportive mental health services can help women navigate these struggles by offering a compassionate, judgment-free space to share their experiences, with a holistic focus on health and well-being.
At Wells Psychology, we provide a supportive environment where women feel heard and validated. We focus on both immediate concerns and underlying factors to ensure long-term mental well-being and personal growth.
Parent Support
Neurodiversity Affirming Practice
Neurodiversity Affirming Practice
Parenting is widely recognised as one of the most meaningful roles, yet it can also be emotionally demanding. Navigating children’s changing needs, emotions, and behaviours can feel complex and, at times, overwhelming.
At Wells Psychology, we support parents using evidence-based, attachment-informed approaches that aim to strengthen the parent–child relationship, increase confidence, and reduce feelings of guilt or uncertainty.
Ashlee is a registered Circle of Security Parenting™ (COSP) facilitator, and her work is guided by COSP and attachment theory principles. While the structured COSP group program is not currently being offered, these foundational concepts continue to inform individual parent support and therapeutic work.

Neurodiversity Affirming Practice
Wells Psychology is a neurodiversity-affirming practice that values and respects different ways of thinking, feeling, and communicating. Sessions are tailored to individual needs, with flexibility to accommodate personal preferences. Clients are welcome to bring comfort items to help create a relaxed and supportive environment.
Many neurodivergent women have spent years masking their true selves to fit into the world around them. If this resonates with you, please know that you’re not alone. This is a space where you can feel safe to unmask and be your authentic self, without judgment.
A collaborative approach ensures that support aligns with each client’s unique way of processing and engaging. For those interested in exploring their neurodivergent brain type, assessments are also available.
Please Note: We’re currently unable to accept new assessment referrals. Thank you for your understanding.
